Brushes out, vibes on — we’re heading to Monet’s garden.
In this vibrant acrylic session, we’ll dive headfirst into the iconic world of Claude Monet’s water lilies — minus the stuffy museum voice. Think soft petals, bold colour, dreamy reflections and the kind of loose, expressive brushwork that lets you paint what you feel, not just what you see.
You’ll learn how to blend, dab, layer, and play with light — all while creating your own version of this impressionist masterpiece. Classic or totally reimagined? Your pond, your rules.
Perfect for beginners, flower fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to say, “Oh that? I painted it. It’s my Monet.”

Crash. Curl. Colour. A wave comes alive on canvas.

She’s floating. She’s glowing. She’s not thinking about emails.
A sunset painting session where calm meets colour and a surfer silhouette steals the scene.

Lilacs? Check.
Jar? Check.
Texture? Absolutely.
In this relaxed painting session, we’re keeping things simple and slightly overbuilt. You’ll paint a bunch of lilacs sitting politely in a jar — just as expected — using expressive brushstrokes and deliciously textured paint. A masterclass on how to mix fifty shades of purple ;)
The style is loose, painterly, and tactile, with plenty of room to enjoy the process. No perfection required, just paint doing what paint does best.

Up to 20% discount for Members
Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.
In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.
But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.
Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.
You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.
No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.
This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.
✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.
Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.
Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Full-body overalls and shoe protection
- A mix of demonstration & individual guidance
* We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.

Starry Nights & City Lights
✨ Our 3.5-hour painting marathon — because some masterpieces deserve a little extra time 😉
Pour yourself a glass (of paint) and step into Van Gogh’s world — where every brushstroke hums with colour, movement, and a little bit of magic.
In this vibrant session, we’ll recreate one of his most iconic scenes: a glowing café terrace under a sparkling night sky. Think deep blues, bold yellows, and those irresistible Van Gogh swirls that pull you right in.
This piece is a dream if you love getting lost in the details — the warm lantern glow, textured cobblestones, tiny moments that bring the whole scene to life. We’ll guide you step by step, but there’s plenty of room to follow your own rhythm and make it yours.
🎨 No experience needed. Just bring your curiosity, your love for colour, and maybe someone to sip and paint the night away with.

Soft. Lush. A little bit indulgent.
A blooming peony in peach and pink — melting almost seamlessly into a background of the same dreamy tones.
In this still life session, it’s all about letting go and trusting your brush. We’ll work with expressive strokes and soft layering to capture the fullness and movement of the flower, while gently guiding the shape so it sits just right in perspective.
Think rich, glowing colours that feel both vibrant and refined — tones that blend into each other, creating depth without ever feeling heavy. It’s loose, elegant, and quietly striking.
A painting that feels like a soft moment — and looks even better the longer you linger on it. 🌸

Ready to escape into a landscape of quiet power?
In this session, you’ll create a stunning mountain scene in rich earth tones, where rugged textures meet snowy peaks and every layer tells part of the story.
We’ll move through warm, natural hues, blending and building colours that feel grounded and alive. You`ll be mixing your own version of earth shades and explore thick, tactile layers with modelling paste to shape the landscape, then bring it all together by carving in those striking snowy peaks with our favourite tool — the palette knife.
This is all about texture, contrast, and that satisfying moment when your painting starts to feel like something you could step right into. Let your strokes be bold, your layers imperfect, and your mountains rise in their own way.
✨ How PIE Semi-Guided Workshops Run

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials — a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.
Then the fun really begins. Our instructors are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.
It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.

A quiet face. A bold feeling. And tears worth their weight in gold.
Inspired by the evocative portraitsof Gustav Klimt — this piece focuses on a close-up of a woman’s face, both strong and soft, quiet and glowing.
In this painting session, you’ll bring your own interpretation to this elegant, emotional portrait, where sorrow and beauty sit side by side. With expressive brushwork, gilded accents, and subtle texture, you’ll explore the idea that tears — whether of grief or joy — are a kind of golden truth.
It’s powerful. It’s gentle. And it’s always a favourite.

Paint & BRUNCH: Cute Wet Fluff

Float, hide, and spot the fluff.
A peaceful pond, soft water lilies… and a tiny black cat sneaking through the scene.
In this feel-good painting session, we take a Monet-inspired setting and add a playful twist — capturing the calm beauty of water, layered lily pads, and that curious little swimmer making its way through. It’s all about expressive brushstrokes, fresh greens, and getting those colours just right so the whole scene feels alive.
And then there’s the star of the show: that little black fluff. We’ll help you bring out the charm in those bright, curious eyes, while also exploring how reflections dance on the water’s surface.
Soft, dreamy, and just a little bit cheeky — this one’s a joy from start to finish.
✨ How PIE Paint & Brunch Workshops Run
You arrive at our Studio at Wallstrasse 14 and ease into the experience with a curated brunch — a moment to settle in, connect, and get into the right mood before painting.
After brunch, the creative part of the experience begins. Your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and techniques, before leading you step by step into the painting process with plenty of room to play, experiment, and make it your own. No pressure — just space to unwind, explore, and enjoy the moment.
At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.
No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:
- A chill, friendly atmosphere
- All the necessary art supplies
- Pre-prepared templates
- Step-by-step guidance from our instructors
All you need to bring is your good vibes and curiosity— we’ll take care of the rest ;)
🍳 What’s for Brunch?
Before the painting session, we invite you to enjoy a curated brunch menu — freshly prepared and full of delicious options to refuel your creative self:
- A coffee, tea or mimosa
- Avocado toast with eggs
- A selection of cheeses & cold cuts
- Fruit salad with yoghurt

And yes — a second drink is on us! Choose another coffee, tea, or mimosa to go with your meal.
